I'm using Knoppix 3.3 HDD Install. I want to update the OpenOffice to V1.1. But I don't know how because I'm a neeb

Actually, following the posted step-by-step instructions on the OOo site worked perfectly for me. There are at least two things to be aware of, however:

1. Your original Knoppix OOo install is still there. It must be removed manually, and;
2. Be sure to use network installation, not local.

Item 2 might be a bit confusing, so I will explain. A "local" installation makes a full copy of the program for each user, whereas a "network" installation is to root with individual settings and directories for each user. Of course, this is especially important for systems with multiple users, or even if you might have multiple users later.

The upgrade is really worthwhile. The new version loads and runs much more quickly and has more features.

I was able to upgrade like this:

apt-get install openoffice.org1.1-l10n-en

In order to get spell checking working I had to do the following

I'll try it tomorrow But what about German Open Office

If you want German, then just use the following.

openoffice.org1.1-l10n-de

Hmm. Since I don't speak/read German, I'm not much good at troulbel shooting here. Anyone else?

hi guys!

aay, where did you find a .deb source for your apt-get for
Open Office.org 1.1??

I think thats the problem of bootmaker

there isn't ANY OOo 1.1 in his /etc/apt/source.list

So aay if you could post your /etc/apt/source.list or at least post the deb source your getting OOo 1.1 from!

I use 1.1 in M$ Windows and its far much better than the legacy build 1.0.3

thanks!

It is getting an error trying to overwrite a file that exists in the openoffice-de-en package so either apt-get --purge remove openoffice-de-en then install the openoffice you have or install by dpkg -i --force-overwrite openoffice.org-l10n-de_1.0.3-2_all.deb to overwrite the icon file that is in both packages. At least I think this is what is saying I don't speak any German.
